When Acronis TI did rewrite the MBR (after activating the Startup Recovery Manager), what will happen after removing the recovery manager or the whole program? I mean: will the OS still be able to boot? Is there somekind of rollback system to the previous startup situation?

Yes, OS will be bootable. Acronis software would restore MBR and remove the presence of Acronis Startup Recovery Manager from it.

I bleive de-activate only shows if the version of ATI on your machines recognizes that a Recovery Manger has been activated. IF it doesn't, then you might need to use the wondws disk to cahnge the mbr back to original version.

The easiest way to get rid of the Start up Recovery Manager and get the MBR back to its previous state is to remove the Secure Zone . It is essential to use the manage secure zone wizard for this task.
As well as removing the zone you will be able to allocate the free space to a new secure zone or use it elsewhere by re-sizing your partition/s.

The downside of this procedure is the loss of any old images in the old secure zone.
